     I don't understand why you, Isaac, and also Steve want to do this 
yourself and always avoid speaking of wpa_gui. wpa_gui will really help 
you configuring wpa_supplicant. It detects all the needed parameters and 
only requires you to enter the secret keys. Why rewrite all this 
yourself (unless for training)?


     BTW I had a look at wicd the other day and read I could only 
configure it for one  wifi station. Is that true? wpa_supplicant can 
store an unlimited list of stations and connect to the one it detects... 
I have more than 30 in my wpa_supplicant.conf -- labs, homes, hotels, bars.
